Local regeneration charity Groundwork Greater Nottingham
has been invited to share its knowledge and best practice
with local government officers in Sweden. The invitation by
the city of Linköping to Groundwork Greater Nottingham
resulted from a visit to Nottingham by representatives of
private and public sector organisations across Sweden.
Richard Chamberlain, who will be representing Groundwork
explains, "The Swedish visitors saw a variety of regeneration
activity across the UK. However, they were most impressed
with the Groundwork approach and the way in which we work
with communities to ensure that the opinions and needs of
local people are listened to and taken into account in all
our projects."
It is hoped that through the visit, links with representatives
in the city of Linköping will be strengthened further.
Richard Chamberlain continues, "As well as Swedish regeneration
officers learning from the Groundwork approach, I would like
to see our own project delivery staff learning from the very
different approaches being taken to deliver regeneration in
Sweden.
